Abstract:

 At present, when tourism activities are differentiated and diversified in line with the demands and needs of people, there is a need for destinations and different routes that can meet these expectations and respond to current tourism demands. Although route identification studies are increasing daily in line with the need, no systematic studies exist. From this point of view, this study aims to create specific gastronomy routes in Eskişehir using a systematic approach. For this purpose, a multi-layered research was conducted. In the research, which was designed in a mixed design, the Delphi technique, focus group interviews, interviews including experts and businesses, and mapping were carried out in the last stage. For this purpose, the Delphi results were evaluated with descriptive statistics, and the data obtained from focus group discussions with expert participants and stakeholders representing different groups were evaluated using content analysis. It is thought that the walking routes proposed as a result of the research will contribute to the tourism activities in the city and will provide a source for similar studies in other destinations with the model proposed.
